Lunch Hour

The highlight of my trip to the American History Museum today was the three mile roundtrip bike ride. It's such beautiful autumn weather here in the district, complete with photo-snapping Japanese tourists and construction obstructing some of the top sites.

The Museum wasn't shabby either - today I began a tour of "The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden". Lots of cool campaign buttons, footage, and displays about the basics. One of the rooms is in the shape of the Oval Office, and there's a pleasant stately aura - as well as a voting machine and a special on-site gift shop, for those who want to help the economy.
